Bicycles Replace Roller Skates in Latest SC Fad
With seemingly good intent Trojans donned roller skates last week and introduced a short-lived fad to the war-conscious campus. Rubber and tires must be preserved, was the theme given as excuse for the erstwhile juvenile sport.
Quickly and with much gaiety, the fraternity row substituted roller skates for automobiles. Otherwise oil-stained streets took on a clean appearance, while sidewalks began to show the marks of those fancying themselves speed skaters.
Sport stores and hardware shops did a thriving roller skate business; certain establishments reordered several times. The Student Union arranged for a special section devoted to the sale of roller skates.
As many of the other campus fads, however, this too was doomed to obscurity shortly after it’s sensational start.
On the other hand, bicycles are starting to be displayed prominently * on University avenue. Shouts of “Gangway” and “One side or a leg off,” can be heard along campus lanes.
Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men; Dr. John E. Nordskog, professor of sociology; and Dr. Anatol Murad, professor of economics, are a few of the faculty members who insist they will ride ‘‘wheels” to school.
Perhaps this fad is also doomed, but in the meantime may I ride on your handlebars?
Gen. MacArthur Becomes Chief in Blackfeet Tribe
BROWNING, Mont., Mar. 20 — (lT.K)—He probably doesn’t know it yet, but Gen. Douglas MacArthur was an Indian chief today.
Leaders of the Blackfeet Indian tribe performed the colorful ceremonial rites Wednesday night before a huge portrait of the hero of the Philippines and bestowed upon MacArthur the name of Mo-Kahki-Peta—Chief Wise Eagle.

“That wasn’t an air-raid alarm you heard—besides the air-raid shelter is this way!”

Hancock Foundation Plans for Air Raid Protection
Should the possibility of an air raid on campus become an actuality, the Allan Hancock foundation is well prepared to preserve its many collections in the central vault of the building.
When the building was erected in 1940, the central
chambers, measuring 70 feet long,
30 feet wide, and 55 feet deep, were surrounded by concrete rooms, which will now prove helpful in preventing shrapnel from breaking through the side walls.
Composing six stacks, through the method of using 9-foot ceilings while the outside rooms vary from 12 to 14 feet in height, the storage chambers consist of two main divisions. The forward rooms, called wet stacks, contain alcoholically preserved specimens, and the rear room, or dry stacks, are for literature and specimens not requiring preservation liquids.
IGNITION PREVENTED
Special features of the v^ult include mercury vapor light switches.
These switches come in contact with electric current through a well of mercury, thus deleting the clicking catch that might cause an ignition.
If fire should occur in the building, the heavy entrance doors automatically close, keeping any flame from the interior.
In the wet stack, special racks have been provided to keep the bottled exhibits on the shelves in case of earthquakes.
A circulating air system keeps the room temperature constant. If
any of the bottles were to break, the alcohol would not escape the room for a time because special dikes have been built at the door-sills.
Even if a direct hit were made by a bomb, it would be likely to enter only the top two stories. The roof is a combination of concrete and insulated material, measuring about 10 inches in thickness.
SHELTERS PROVIDED
What. is found in the various stacks? The basement level contains marine worms and fishes. On the first or street floor are found the Hancock publications of the field trips and findings made by foundation members. The second floor holds books in the dry stack and mollusks in the wet stack. To be found on the second floor mezzanine are more books and crusta-aceans: The third-floor stack is composed of ethnological material and echinoderms. Heveraiuns are found on the top »iory.
Although the rooms were not primarily designed for bomb-proof shelters, they could be turned into emergency shelters on the lower floors if necessary. The collections kept in the building are in the safest place possible at this time.

The most popular building) of student activity is the center of the campus, it prov| or be merry.” The eating is basement, in the restaurant
room on the third floor. Sleeping! is optional in the lounge on the third floor, but sometimes this is difficult, since the radio ajid the j piano provide ample noise to wake up the dead.
Teas, dances, and social gatherings in the lounge enable everyone to be merry. Sorority rush affairs and organizational dances keep the third floor well occupied during the afternoon and the evening. WINDOWS LINE WALLS
Besides these activities, the student lounge has proved to be a successful place in which to study. During finals, students can be seen huddled together, whispering something about the course, then hurriedly leafing thorugh their notes. Every chair and sofa is occupied, and the radio is silenced for once during the year. No one has ever tried to turn it on at this time.
The lounge is a large room with walls two stories high. The ceiling is of the gable type with heavy trusses of reinforced concrete, and it is of romanesque design. Rust-colored curtains and lounge-type chairs and sofas complete the furnishings.
MURAL DEPICTS TROJAN
Arched windows line the north and south walls, and there is a mural in the arch over the fireplace on the north side of the room. This painting is called ‘‘Alma Mater” and is based on the idea of unification of the colleges.
The mural presents a colossal Trojan warrior embracing students who are representative of the various colleges. The Trojan warrior has been used in inter-collegiate athletic contests as a symbol of the
